    Args:
      urdf_root: The path to the urdf data folder.
      urdf_version: [DEFAULT_URDF_VERSION, DERPY_V0_URDF_VERSION,
        RAINBOW_DASH_V0_URDF_VERSION] are allowable
        versions. If None, DEFAULT_URDF_VERSION is used. DERPY_V0_URDF_VERSION
        is the result of first pass system identification for derpy.
        We will have a different URDF and related Minitaur class each time we
        perform system identification. While the majority of the code of the
        class remains the same, some code changes (e.g. the constraint location
        might change). __init__() will choose the right Minitaur class from
        different minitaur modules based on
        urdf_version.
      distance_weight: The weight of the distance term in the reward.
      energy_weight: The weight of the energy term in the reward.
      shake_weight: The weight of the vertical shakiness term in the reward.
      drift_weight: The weight of the sideways drift term in the reward.
      distance_limit: The maximum distance to terminate the episode.
      observation_noise_stdev: The standard deviation of observation noise.
      self_collision_enabled: Whether to enable self collision in the sim.
      motor_velocity_limit: The velocity limit of each motor.
      pd_control_enabled: Whether to use PD controller for each motor.
      leg_model_enabled: Whether to use a leg motor to reparameterize the action
        space.
      accurate_motor_model_enabled: Whether to use the accurate DC motor model.
      remove_default_joint_damping: Whether to remove the default joint damping.
      motor_kp: proportional gain for the accurate motor model.
      motor_kd: derivative gain for the accurate motor model.
      control_latency: It is the delay in the controller between when an
        observation is made at some point, and when that reading is reported
        back to the Neural Network.
      pd_latency: latency of the PD controller loop. PD calculates PWM based on
        the motor angle and velocity. The latency measures the time between when
        the motor angle and velocity are observed on the microcontroller and
        when the true state happens on the motor. It is typically (0.001-
        0.002s).
      torque_control_enabled: Whether to use the torque control, if set to
        False, pose control will be used.
      motor_overheat_protection: Whether to shutdown the motor that has exerted
        large torque (OVERHEAT_SHUTDOWN_TORQUE) for an extended amount of time
        (OVERHEAT_SHUTDOWN_TIME). See ApplyAction() in minitaur.py for more
        details.
      hard_reset: Whether to wipe the simulation and load everything when reset
        is called. If set to false, reset just place the minitaur back to start
        position and set its pose to initial configuration.
      on_rack: Whether to place the minitaur on rack. This is only used to debug
        the walking gait. In this mode, the minitaur's base is hanged midair so
        that its walking gait is clearer to visualize.
      render: Whether to render the simulation.
      num_steps_to_log: The max number of control steps in one episode that will
        be logged. If the number of steps is more than num_steps_to_log, the
        environment will still be running, but only first num_steps_to_log will
        be recorded in logging.
      action_repeat: The number of simulation steps before actions are applied.
      control_time_step: The time step between two successive control signals.
      env_randomizer: An instance (or a list) of EnvRandomizer(s). An
        EnvRandomizer may randomize the physical property of minitaur, change
          the terrrain during reset(), or add perturbation forces during step().
      forward_reward_cap: The maximum value that forward reward is capped at.
        Disabled (Inf) by default.
      log_path: The path to write out logs. For the details of logging, refer to
        minitaur_logging.proto.

      ValueError: If the urdf_version is not supported.
